"J" is Joe'll

While showing Ennis how to pack the mules, the Basque offers some helpful advice:

"Don't let them stray.  Joe'll have your ass, if you do.  Only thing, don't never order soup.  (spits)  Them soup boxes are hard to pack."

Breakfast, luncheon and dinner on Brokeback consisted of elk, elk and more elk.

Ennis uses his left leather glove as an oven mitt while frying elk, etc. in the skillet over the open flames.

"N" is nears

As the prospect of having elk for dinner nears, Ennis becomes even more near and dear to Jack.

"O" is overstrewing

At the sight of the bear, the horse spooked and the mules took off, overstrewing a week's worth of food.

"P" is practical

Ennis and Jack had to be practical; so when an elk came into their sights, they decided to make the most of it.

"R" is richer

With the killing of the elk, the friendship between Ennis and Jack became richer, right along with their daily fare.

Joe Aguirre explains how the sheepherders' food will be replenished weekly:

"Fridays twelve noon be down at the bridge with your next-week list and mules.  Somebody with supplies'll be there in a pickup."

"T" is timorous

The thought of eating Aguirre's sheep brings out Ennis's timorous tendencies.

"U" is uncanny

An uncanny series of events including a spooked horse enabled Jack and Ennis to can the thought of eating canned beans and enjoy some uncanned elk.
